I plan to build a SAG mill shortly (after all I need to power something with all this Hootch my MFR tree farm has produced by way of apples), but for Silicon I just go to a Mesa biome, gather an inventory full of hardened clay, macerate it, and run the clay dust through electrolyzer. All the Lithium and Silicon I need right there.

Ooh! Finally a use for these. The black granite doesn't look too bad if you make it into bricks, but other than that I've mostly found both granite types to be a nuisance due to their reliance on tier 3 pickaxes.
To the best of my knowledge; RC turbines scale damage with output, so when the turbines are running on low they suffer damage much more slowly.
I've looking years for casserite and havent found it..
I already have found:
100000 Lignite veins
10 Bauxite
3 Coal
15 Magnetite
5 Iron
3 Copper
2 Limonite
2 Sulfur
3 Chalcopyrite
2 Redstone
2 Rock Salt
1 Gold
3 Quartz
And yes Im looking between 60-120 layers, this really sucks..

So tonight we figured out how to automate our Bronze Blast Furnaces with EnderIO item pipes and 4 JABBA barrels. With a dimensional anchor installed I'm going to need to set up an iron golem farm now heh.
I also started doing a bit more advanced ore processing with an ore washer and electromagnetic separator. I also finally built my 36LP boiler running off creosote.
That's certainly good to hear. I should be able to install this tomorrow night. I want to test out the transformers and such in a SP world before I install something with that high of voltage in my SMP instance. I've had enough explosions for a while.
If you're able to check the Nether. I got relatively lucky and found tin right off directly next to my base. But I depleted that vein by the time I got to HV. I went to the nether and within minutes found a 3x3 chunk vein of tin. Also, the tin is fairly difficult to spot, consider installing a gregtech specific resource pack to make the ore stand out more.

It isn't that hard to spot, I check how it look with creative mode before my journey and Im 100% sure I havent missed any casserite/tin ore
But Im gonna try to explore the nether world for tin, thanks
Also note Tin/Cassiterite spawns between Y=40 and Y=120. It used to spawn only at Y=80 and above.
I found my 1st Tin vein by exploring/digging in a relatively shallow/flat biome.
The dimensional transceiver recipe is using the Capacitor Bank (Deprecated), which is uncraftable. Tried replacing it with the other capacitor banks, but those don't work. And the RF Stargate Power Unit recipe is also using the deprecated capacitor bank.
How many Mb/t of steam is the RC 36LP boiler capable of putting out when fully heated? Does 720Mb/t sound accurate? How does this contrast with the Large Bronze Boiler or Large Titanium Boiler? I'm having a difficult time finding the data all in the same terms, some say L/t others Mb/t, etc.
Obviously there are fuel efficiency differences between these, just trying to figure out how many boilers and of which type I need to power my industry properly now and into the future. Also trying to figure out the best solutions for extracting steam into my RC steam tank.

720mB/t is right.
The Large GT Boiler Values are here: http://ftb.gamepedia.com/Large_Boiler
The large boiler is inefficient with refined fuels(fuel, ethanol).

The ideal scenario is to press the boilers flush up against the receiver. You'll lose no steam that way.

Yes, exactly what @Pyure said. The GT and the RC boilers both "push" the steam out and they both are able to push out 100% if they are flush next to an RC tank.
The eIO conduits have no throughput limit on the *network*, but rather are limited by *connection*. In contrast, GT and BC pipes have per-block limits and per-block updates. I think the GT pipes look cool as hell and are slightly more realistic in some fashions. The "sloshing" of steam isn't anywhere close to realistic, but the per-block throughput limits are.
But, if you're looking for 100% reliability and predictability, I'd use the eIO conduits. Just make enough connections on the boiler to extract all the steam it produces. Likewise, make sure you have enough connections on the RC tank to dump all the steam in.
I'm pretty sure the larger RC boilers and all GT boilers will overwhelm a single RC Tank valve and cause a bottleneck. I always have to use multiple valves.
I do have my Large GT boiler flush to the RC tank, and that seems to work great. I guess it's not a big deal to relocate my RC boiler so I can place it flush, just some more re-design 
I guess while I'm at it I should design in a spot to install a Large Titanium boiler as well, or I suppose I could just build all the pieces for it ahead of time and swap it in where my Large Bronze Boiler is now. I don't really see any reason to go through the Large Steel Boiler, but the Titanium one seems like a good enough jump in steam production to merit construction for peak demand situations. Also when i do that I'll need to go look back through this thread for how to monitor the RC tank with BC gates and then trigger the boiler through a ULV hatch, at least I think that's what I remember reading.

Recipes for Dim Transceiver and SGCraft RF power thingie are fixed. There is no reason to quickly push out the v2.1.5, so: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vxmku8x27yadbiz/CapBankFix2.1.4.zip?dl=0
Extract these two in your InfiTech2/minecraft/scripts folder

I have three output hatches lined up with three RC tank valves, but the animation of steam is only on the bottom one, leading me to believe only the bottom hatch is being used. And, it's a Tungstensteel outputting prodigious steam.
Now that you mention it...I misremembered that.
For one thing I've never managed to make a GT Boiler output from multiple fluid hatches. For another, the reason I've used multiple hatches is because the RC boiler only passively pushes out steam when its half-full, and I wanted to "pull" steam out to other hatches (using pipes mind you)
